For Love Alone
For love alone my savior hung
Upon the rugged cross of Calvary
With open arms of love stretched wide
To embrace this sinful world
Men, women, boys and girls.
He hung there with a crown of thorns
Upon his head, and nail pierced
Hands and feet stained red
Yet through swollen lips He said
Father, forgive them
All alone my savior hung there,
With no one to protest his fate
His father forsook him,
His friends denied him,
Yet for love alone he hung there…dying
For love alone he paid the price
Became a living sacrifice
Wounded, battered and bruise
For our sins was he
Yet he did so willingly.
For love alone my savior hung
Upon the rugged cross of Calvary
With open arms of love stretched wide
To embrace this sinful world
Men, women, boys and girls.
He hung there with a crown of thorns
Upon his head, and nail pierced
Hands and feet stained red
Yet through swollen lips He said
Father, forgive them
All alone my savior hung there,
With no one to protest his fate
His father forsook him,
His friends denied him,
Yet for love alone he hung there…dying
For love alone he paid the price
Became a living sacrifice
Wounded, battered and bruise
For our sins was he
Yet he did so willingly.
